“It is with a heavy heart that I share the tragic news that has come to my attention regarding an attack on police officers at Uguru Abba on the way to Asaga. The incident has resulted in the loss of one dedicated officer’s life and left another critically wounded.

Such acts of violence against those who serve to protect our community are not only a grave concern but also deeply unsettling. I extend my sincerest condolences to the family of the fallen officer during this unimaginable time. Losing a loved one is a profound tragedy, and the pain felt by the family, friends, and colleagues of the deceased is something that words cannot adequately express.

We must stand in solidarity with them as they navigate this painful journey and honor the brave service that their loved one provided to our community.

At this moment, I urge all community members to come together in a united plea for peace. Violence only begets more violence, and it is essential that we reject any forms of hostility and work towards fostering a culture of understanding and support.

Our police officers dedicate their lives to ensuring our safety, often at great personal risk. In these challenging times, it is our collective responsibility to stand by them and promote a safe environment for everyone.

Let us remember that our actions matter, and our words can either heal or exacerbate wounds. As we process this devastating news, I implore everyone to remain calm and refrain from any expressions of anger or retribution.

Instead, let us focus on constructive dialogue and collaborative efforts aimed at addressing the underlying issues that lead to such violence. We must engage with each other and with local leaders to find solutions that promote security and stability within our community.

As we approach the festive period, I call upon everyone to join me in reflecting on the value of peace and solidarity. May we come together not just in our grief but also in our commitment to ensuring that such tragedies do not occur in the future.

The loss we have suffered is a stark reminder of the importance of safety and the need for unity in our community.
